A founding member of the influential New Wave group Talking Heads, was born Martina Michéle Weymouth on November 22, 1950 in Coronado, California. A bassist, she combined the minimalist art-punk basslines of groups such as Wire and Pere Ubu with danceable, disco inflected riffs to provide the bedrock of Talking Heads signature sound. She also participated in Tom Tom Club, a Talking Heads side-project with Chris Frantz and, more recently, the Gorillaz. She has been married to Frantz since 1977, and they have two sons together.
